Lavos, the alien monster intent on destroying all life, has emerged from beneath the planet's surface to endorse Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race. "Cuomo has the experience and character necessary to lead," said Lavos, while fire rained from the sky

Anyway even if Google responds to my email and they have a work around I might just be done with them. I can just move my apps to itch.io. But what I worry about is that any Google presence I have could just arbitrarily decide to publish personal info one day and I would not know.

Which surprises me as well is the internet was pretty silent about this. I expected people to get upset like they did when unity messed up. I did find a few grumbling on reddit with a handful of comments, but that’s pretty much it. I emailed Google and also found a change .org petition.

This is a huge violation of privacy. Other companies go through great lengths to keep personal data like this private and google publishes it for every bot to scrape. Whats more, it’s not even necessary. Apple does not do this.

Recently google requested that I
verify my Google pay ID. It seemed like a reasonable request. However, Today I discovered that google without my knowledge published my info and home address on my apps store pages. This is so messed up.

I just had a surprisingly f’ed up experience with the google play store. I’m still kind of in shock. So a few years back I made a few art project games in my spare time, free projects for anyone interested.

Just as a statistic, Israel's government has gruesomely murdered 38 Palestinians today so far, statistically over half of them under the age of 16, many through methods explicitly prohibited even in the violence-accepting rules of war. It is 13:00 / 1 PM.

very hard not to see the shift from traditional arcades to crane game emporiums as evidence of the degeneration of the world state

hey just some quick feedback. the groceries -> cooking -> washing up loop feels too tight, it’s like I’ve only cooked a few times before I have to start over again. it’s a reliable resource sink for sure but it would be great to not have to do it so often. can we do a tuning pass

Every semester, I tell myself, I know this one’s looking crazy, but if I just make it through, should be smooth sailing from here.

Back in my day this country had so many eggs, and so many video games, and sometimes the video games would even have eggs in them.

I think this might be the busiest, most stressful teaching semester of my life. There is so much going on it’s hard to say what the problem is.

I got inspired to make a game at GDC. An inverted vr dungeon crawler rpg. I want to play with inverted vision experiments again, and reference early 90s first person grid based rpgs. With the gravity inverted, falling in pits moves the player to higher floors. Anyway it’s called “Failing Upwards”

I left GDC with 1 main thought. I want to make games and play games my friends make. My current life does not afford me this. Thus I need to actively work to change it.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

Let's be really really clear. The Trump admin chose a Palestinian activist as the target of its first lawless political detention precisely BECAUSE they believe that will split the opposition.
If you shrug at the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, or worse, cheer it on, you're following Trump's script.
